Thing varname
:quoted_varname

outputs the value of the variable whose name is the input. If there is more than one such variable, the innermost local variable of that name is chosen. The colon notation is an abbreviation not for THING but for the combination

	thing "
so that
	:FOO means THING "FOO.
Examples:

a=1234
Thing "a		;1234  ;-)	here Thing "  is not really neccessary.
ab=[Hallo World!]
Thing Word "a "b		;[Hallo World!] ;-)
;this second example is the strength of thing!
